A Message To My Father Nothing can compare too a fathers love for his daughter. In the beginning a daughter learns how to love through their father’s unconditional love.

A daughter looks up to their father because they give guidance to shape their lives as women.

A father gives their daughter self-esteem, and confidence to overcome any obstacles.

You Daddy have given me the best example on how to live my life.

I Eva your daughter will never forget the love and hope you placed in my heart I will carry on your memory forever more.

Your Loving Daughter, Eva

Charles Ray “Randle

, “aka Snake” was born October 22, 1944, to the late Mr. Willie Randle Sr. and Mrs. Lester May King-Randle in Memphis, Tennessee. He departed this life on Saturday, September 15, 2018.

He confessed his hope in Christ at an early age and joined New Era Missionary Baptist Church. He later united with Unity Christian Church.

Charles Ray was educated in The Memphis City Schools System and graduated from Melrose High School in 1963. He later enlisted in the US Army where he did a tour of duty in Vietnam.

Upon discharge from the Army, he began working for the US Postal Service, a mail handler, driver of an 18 wheeler and as a driving instructor for over 30 years.

Charles Ray was united in Holy Matrimony on September 11, 1978 to Mary Kidd and remain a devoted husband and father to his daughter Eva and a Godfather to Gail Times, Pam Graham and Willie Rawls.

Charles Ray enjoyed his family and friends in particular, he enjoyed sharing his life stories with all he encountered. His stories were comical and full of wisdom. Even though he had no patent he was famous for his Bar-be-que. Not a cowboy but an advent horseman. Never got a gold medal, but was an excellent swimmer.

Charles Ray leaves to cherish his memories: Mary Randle his wife, loving daughter Eva L. Randle, sisters Billie Jean Miller and Barbara Ann Holmon, brothers Willie Randle Jr.(Betty), Bob Money (Katherine), grandsons Ericck Randle-Cain, Willie Nelson Brewster II, great-grandsons Tristen Lavant Cain, Kymin Jackson. One special Aunt Thess Thomas and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

“For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.”

II Timothy 4:6-7
